Activities in this teaching pack include a template to identify and record changes to a story character from the beginning to the end of the story and a set of cards to group and build different sets of cvc words with the same initial phoneme sounds.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to describe and illustrate some of the special ways that a character has changed from the beginning to the end of a story.

This lesson is part of a literacy scheme of work to get the children to identify different ways that authors can use descriptive vocabulary in stories and select and use initial sounds in words based on The Mixed-up Chameleon by Eric Carle. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
